Hello one and all. As you may have noticed, 'That Time Of Year' is hurtling towards us again, so we thought it would be a good idea to let our non-UK customers know Royal Mail's recommended last posting dates for international orders. So if you live Down Under, Across The Pond, or Over There A Bit, we hope this helps:

There are a million and one things about corsets that folk love, most notably the figure it gives. After all, us girls have been wearing them for centuries.

Strapping on a corset will give anyone an instant hourglass figure (or something close to it) as well as looking tres chic. One can expect a great deal of work and tailoring to go into even the most basic of corsets. This fitted piece will pull in and accentuate in all the right places, from the more heavy duty waist training corsets to the elegantly tight 'Waspies'. Steel boned or lighter, corsets at The Gothic Shop will go the distance. Superb style statements for the everyday or for special nights out, here are a few examples that demonstrate just why every girl needs one:

Corsets for the most part are dramatic in nature: Strong, figure flattering and not for the faint of heart. With party season just around the corner, why not make a feature of your corset? Not only will it be slimming to the waistline, it can also make a glam style statement. The C-Lock King Gold Brocade Underbust is a seriously elegant corset. Invited to a Christmas do this year? You really will be the belle of the ball in this dainty number! Heavy duty with steampunk accents, try teaming the gold brocade and studs with something feminine and floaty for a really unique look. This design also comes in an overbust version.

Tailoring is a big part of getting almost any look right- especially a feminine and graceful one. There has never been a better time to put away the over sized clothes and replace them with something that really will turn heads this season. Yes you've guessed it! The Black Taffeta Lily Gothic Burlesque Corset will do just that. When it comes to corsetry, this piece has it all: First there is a sturdy steel boned structure to keep shape. The finer details to be found include an intricate black lace frill, featured with bow at the top and bottom, modesty panel underneath strong cord laces. Wear it with skirt or dress for instance shape enhancing chic, one could also try it with something more casual. Either way, this overbust design will wear beautifully each time. Also available in a red taffeta version.

Brocade makes for a wonderful detail on clothing, here it is used as a fab style accent on the front of the Vintage Black Vinyl & Brocade Underbust corset by Burleska. The dark tones here, whether they be found on the front or side panels are super stylish. Like with all the corsets featured at The Gothic Shop, it's these finer elements that really make wearing a corset worthwhile. An underbust design, this piece works with practically anything. Simple enough to put on and sharp enough to make a statement, this vintage inspired piece is one of many must haves on offer!

A look that proves to be popular year round, a corset is a worthwhile investment that will last for many seaosns to come. Take a look at the Corsets on offer at The Gothic Shop here.
